A million thoughts come to mind here. However, given the fact that we are all novices compared to Florida Beaver when it comes to Beaverology, better known as the study of Beaver, I thought you might be interested in learning about the oldest Beaver found in Oregon.

ASU74, thanks for starting this thread. I'm trying to develop some antagonism against the AZ schools, but I am really feeling some love for the Wildcats, especially after the Greek loving we gave to them last weekend. It sounds like you, Caught by Sparky, and Rowdy have some kind of special love going on down South. That's okay, I make no judgment, I'm very much a Libertarian. There are only two teams I could never root for -- Oregon and Washington. I despise everything about these teams and the cities where they hang their hat.

standings after day 2: Wildcard85 holds on to the lead but everyone is within 5 points so it is still anyones game, RiverDuck by playing it safe jumps into the middle of the pack, and Opihiman going for broke falls. Stanford losing today killed ALOT of peoples scores.

Wetlzer was horrible. Childs should have started this game. Yeskie brings him in for one batter and then takes him out, but leaves Wetlzer in the game for 5 innings while he was struggling and getting smacked all over the field. Childs was the best pitcher the Beavs had last year and now he is resigned to coming in and pitching to one batter?

What a horrible pitching coach. I have never seen anybody overcoach as badly as he has done the last two days. It's amazing this pitching staff has any confidence. I say fire the guy and bring somebody else in. In addition to being a poor coach, the guy is arrogant and a poor example.

I thought I could keep from my rant about Yeskie, but just had to get it out of my system. The guys sitting next to me at the game are even more disgusted - one of the guys has a son on the team.

Unfortuately or perhaps fortunately, I have to leave after this inning. Maybe the game will sound better just listening to Mike Parker.

I don't think so, Fred.

Wetzler still does not have it yet. I can't see him going more than four innings if he continues to walk people.

SB, I ran to get some peanuts when Conforto and Gordon collided. What happened?

That was an amazing play at the plate! Karma for Gordon running into Conforto in the OF, allowing a free run. I'll just chalk it up to Gordon being from Ashland... the ducks of High School where I grew up!

Beaverstate69, there are just so many other activities for the Ducks and citizens of Eugene to engage in. I've posted just a few of the activitist groups that you can catch on a regular basis protesting at UO and Eugene.

It is surprising the Ducks don't get more attendance for baseball (or basketball for that matter). 200K+ living within 15 mins of the ballpark you would think they could draw at least 2000 (butts in seats) and that would only be about half capacity. But I am not rooting for that place to start filling up. Lack of game day atmosphere there is one of the advantages the Beavs have in recruiting. PK is a top notch facility (and they sell beer) so why no fans? I can't stand the ducks, but I like the rivalry. It has made Beaver baseball a little more fun during conference play.

RD, I'm going to be down in the City of peace, love, unshaven women, and anarchy on Saturday. One of my Duck buddies invited me to the game. If you are at the game, I'll be the normal looking guy in the crowd.

OphiMan, I'm having a hard time understanding the pitching rotation and substitions tonight. Now, Reser comes in. Casey must need some money for the improvements he wants to do down the third base line.

DM, my point to Yeskie's madness is that he is first, over coaching. Second, he has managed to destroy the confidence of the best pitcher from last year's staff, Dan Child.

Baseball is a simple game and I've seen Yeskie overcomplicate it. Third, why change the rotation that has worked so well for the the last 3-4 weeks.

You Beaver fans are so jaded. Brocker's "hit" was a lame dribbler through the 5-5 hole. And Reser has been solid this year. He got his man, although I would have preferred a strikeout. The pitching, outside of Child's early wildness, has not been the problem. Five of those six runs are unearned, thanks to a whopping five errors.
